Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for testing composite services in a communication network utilizing test data. In use, test data is sent to a composition of virtual services to test at least a portion of the composition of virtual services, the composition of virtual services including at least one first virtual service and at least one second virtual service chained such that the test data is received by the at least one first virtual service and an output of the at least one first virtual service is input to the at least one second virtual service, and at least a portion of the test data being configured such that at least a portion of the output of the at least one first virtual service is the same as the test data input to the at least one first virtual service. Additionally, a first output is received from the at least one second virtual service, the first output including a result of the output of the at least one first virtual service being input to the at least one second virtual service. Further, the test data is sent as an input to at least one third virtual service, the at least one third virtual service including the same functionality as the…
